Julian spent his 3rd month birthday in San Diego, getting spoiled by his grandparents: Oma & Api. My mom took over the Oma title from her mom – it means grandmother in dutch, Dad was supposed to be Abu (as in short for Abuelo), but Santiago decided he would be Api, and it stuck. For being the eldest on the Vignoles side of the family it is Santiago’s prerogative to name the grandparents!
It was also Julian’s first plane ride! He did really well and didn’t fuss at all – just watched the flight attendants as they came and went and won them over with an appropriately timed smile. This was a first “test” of flying in anticipation of our Uruguay trip at the end of the year. While the 1 hour flight pales in comparison to the 13 hours in flight (+ 5 hour layover) it’s all about the baby steps! One of my favorite photos is Julian sitting in the Lotus where he seemed perfectly content. Next trip I am going to strap his car seat into the passenger seat and take him out for a spin – will be hilarious to see what looks I get! It was great to see so many friends during our trip and to get a chance to introduce them to Julian. We look forward to coming down to San Diego again soon!
